SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Giving Patients a Voice Through Free Text Data
DESCRIPTION:How can patient experiences be better understood beyond tick box surveys. What can free text responses reveal about care that structured data often misses. \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods\, and ideas. \nIn this session\, Lucy Mackintosh will present her work on analysing free text responses from patient reported experience measures to better understand care experiences. Her research focuses on developing bespoke approaches to capture the nuance\, detail\, and meaning within patient feedback that is often lost in standardised survey formats. \nLucy is a Graduate Teaching Fellow and Senior Research Assistant at the University of Hertfordshire. Her work explores how qualitative data can be systematically analysed to inform improvements in care\, ensuring that patient voices are more effectively heard and acted upon. \nAttendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Biomarkers in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
DESCRIPTION:How can we better detect and understand cerebral amyloid angiopathy. And how do findings from models translate into insights from patient data. \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods\, and ideas. \nIn this session\, Ivana Kancheva will present her research on translational biomarkers for cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Her work combines MRI and histology approaches in a mouse model alongside patient data to better understand disease mechanisms and improve biomarker development. \nIvana is a third year PhD student at Leiden University Medical Centre in The Netherlands. Her research focuses on bridging preclinical and clinical approaches to better characterise vascular contributions to neurodegeneration and support earlier and more accurate detection. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Webinar - Autism and young onset dementia
DESCRIPTION:The Young Dementia Network webinar on Tuesday 19th May 2026 at 12.30-1.30pm will explore the experiences of autistic people when accessing dementia healthcare\, highlighting some of the barriers they may encounter and the importance of making services more accessible and inclusive. \nIt will outline the work being undertaken at Dementia UK to develop clear\, accessible information and resources for both the autistic community and healthcare professionals\, with the aim of improving understanding\, communication and support. \nIt will also examine the complex relationship between autism and young onset dementia. In particular\, it will consider how certain characteristics commonly associated with autism\, such as differences in communication\, behaviour and sensory processing\, may sometimes be misunderstood or misattributed as signs of young onset dementia. We will discuss how these overlaps can contribute to confusion in assessment and diagnosis\, and why greater awareness among healthcare professionals is essential. \nPresenters at the webinar include Ryan Gray\, Research Assistant at Dementia UK\, who leads on the young onset dementia strand of its 2023-2026 strategy and Gavin Stewart PhD\, a senior postdoctoral research fellow at King’s College London. Gavin is an expert in autism and ageing and his research takes a multifaceted approach to explore the life experiences of autistic people across adulthood and as they age. \nLou shares her lived experience as an autistic carer for her mum with dementia\, her difficulties in navigating services and her Mum’s transition into a care home. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Culture & Dementia Care in Social Work Practice
DESCRIPTION:How is culture understood within social work practice. And how does this shape the care and support offered to people living with dementia from marginalised communities. \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods\, and ideas. \nIn this session\, Dr Kemba Hadaway-Morgan will present findings from her PhD research exploring how the concept of culture is perceived and applied within social work practice. Her work focuses on how these understandings influence care for racialised and marginalised older adults living with dementia. \nDrawing on qualitative research\, Kemba examines how assumptions\, interpretations\, and institutional perspectives of culture can shape decision making\, interactions\, and outcomes in dementia care. Her research highlights the importance of critically engaging with culture to support more equitable and responsive practice. \nKemba is a researcher at Cardiff University specialising in dementia\, social work\, and inequalities in care. Her work centres on amplifying under represented perspectives and improving practice for diverse communities. \nAttendees can expect a reflective and research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Exercise\, Brain Health & Alzheimer’s Risk
DESCRIPTION:How does physical activity influence brain health as we age. And what are the best ways to support people in staying active to reduce dementia risk. \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods\, and ideas. \nIn this session\, Dr Marta Stojanovic will introduce her research on how exercise impacts cognitive and brain health\, particularly in older adults and those at risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Her work also explores how to increase engagement in physical activity\, addressing one of the key challenges in translating evidence into real world impact. \nMarta is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Kentucky\, with a background in clinical psychology and neuropsychology. Her research uses a multi method approach\, combining laboratory studies\, neuroimaging\, physiological measures\, wearable technology\, and real world data collection to better understand both the effects of exercise and how to promote it. \nAttendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Neurocognitive Metrics for Detecting Alzheimer’s Pathology
DESCRIPTION:As biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease continue to advance\, are cognitive assessments keeping pace. And how can we better detect early changes using tools we already have. \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods\, and ideas. \nIn this session\, Dr Davide Bruno will present his work on developing neurocognitive metrics that are sensitive to Alzheimer’s disease pathology. His research focuses on extracting more informative measures from existing neuropsychological tests\, rather than relying on entirely new tools. \nThese approaches aim to provide accessible\, non proprietary methods that can better align cognitive assessment with advances in biomarker research\, helping to improve early detection and understanding of disease progression. \nDavide is an Associate Professor of Cognitive Neuropsychology at Liverpool John Moores University and the University of Wisconsin Madison. His work sits at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and clinical research\, focusing on improving how we measure and detect changes in brain function. \nAttendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister
